6Written literature is usually a solo endeavour. This is another way to say, "books usually only have a single author".
7
8The requirement of the truth, to speak of probabilities, creates a new category. Books with more than one author.
9
10This is the index for works in that category.
11
12Works by {{House Pseudonym}}s are a subset of this, as it groups multiple authors of a work, therefore making its works automatically coauthored, so listing them here is redundant and unneeded. But since it's not specific to literature, its examples also go here.
13
14Similarly, OutlivedItsCreator works must be co-authored, because the work must outlive its original creator by having a second one. But since that trope is not specific to literature, its examples also go here.

48* ''Fanfic/{{Paradoxus}}'': While the primary writer is Bloom_Farella, she acknowledges the contributions of Daybreak, Popsicle, and Crowgirl as co-authors. The four came up with the general idea of the fic and all work refining its worldbuilding, characters, and plot.
49* ''anfic/PokeBattles'': The community was tight-knit enough that some of the versions were collaborations between authors. Arguably, the network's policy of one version per unique combination of authors encouraged this--Got an idea that doesn't fit into your current version but you want to do more than one battle for? You need to find a coauthor or two for it that you're not working with elsewhere.
